Every second of our lives, our bodies get older. On the endless cycle of day and night, between tight schedules, concerts, working, eating, sleeping… we live our choices. Adult life consists in solving problems, stablishing goals and focusing on them.
I’ve turned 26 this year. There was no party. But i’ve been trying to live every day as a litte miracle. Candies, big wheel, music, friends.

A few months ago I was walking with my brand new hostel friends along Thames river… It was 1 am. Suddently we stumbled upon this cheery group of indian friends. They’ve paid some pounds ta polish classic violin player to play them some birthday(and non-birthday) tunes. One of the guys was turning 26. We were invited to be part of it, and than all of us were celebrating somebody’s else 26, but it was more than that. We were celebrating life. Candies, big wheel, music, friends.

This was a moment of ethereal happiness. We were celebrating the joy of human existence through the eyes of a child. We’re not children anymore. This status was left behind long time ago, but it has also left us some gifts. One of them was how to keep our eyes wide open enough to embrace reality.
Happy Children’s Day!
